/setup: your HafizeBot checklist and next step
/setup shows a checklist of your account (VIP, Binance key, auto-trading, stop-loss and limits) and ends with the one step to take next, so you always know what is missing before the bot can trade for you.

/setup- Who can use it

- Where
- In your chat with @hafizebot on Telegram
/setup answers "what do I still have to do?". It checks your account in the order the bot needs it: VIP, a connected Binance key, auto-trading switched on, a stop-loss, and the limits the bot will trade with. The Setup✅ button in the menu sends it.
Examples
/setup
A member who has joined VIP but not connected a key yet sees something like:
Your setup:
✅ VIP: Tier 1, until 2026-11-10
⬜ No Binance key yet (/autotrade)
⬜ Auto-trading off (/on)
✅ Stop-loss: 35%
Limits: 25 USDT margin per trade, 2x, up to 10 positions (/settings)
👉 Next step: connect your Binance futures key so the bot can trade for you. /autotrade shows how.
Once everything is ticked, the last line becomes:
👉 Auto-trading is on. /lastsignals shows what the bot did with each signal, /myresults what its trades made, and /summary your settings.
Questions
What does each line of /setup check?
VIP is your membership tier and end date. The key line says whether a Binance futures API key is saved for your account. Auto-trading says whether you have sent /on. The stop-loss line shows your stop, or "none" when no stop order would be placed. Limits are your margin per trade, leverage and the most positions at once.
Everything is ticked, but nothing has been traded. Why?
The bot only acts when a new signal passes your settings, so a quiet hour is normal. /lastsignals lists your recent signals and why each one was skipped, for example your minimum strength, your position limit or a ban.
Is /setup different from /status?
/status shows your account details (chat ID, VIP, balance, referral code). /setup is about trading readiness and always ends with the next step.
